CDC’s Global Communications Center (GCC) opened for business October 3, 2005. A state-of-the-art facility built to replace some of CDC’s aging infrastructure, the Global Communications Center houses the agency’s public information center, exhibit /education area, conference center, distance learning facilities, and CDC visitor security processing area.
